Dale Farm Co-op
Northern Irish dairy co-op producing Gold Star milk powders, fat-filled milk powder, WPC and butter. Active CDMO/private-label programmes for sports nutrition, ice cream and ready-meal applications.
Dale Farm is a dairy cooperative owned by 1,300 farmers across Northern Ireland, England and Scotland, operating since over 60 years. The company manufactures a wide range of dairy ingredients including skim and full cream milk powders, whey protein concentrate and isolate, butter, cream, and cheddar cheese. Its whey protein processing is vertically integrated with a single-source supply chain and is positioned for applications in infant formula, yogurt, ice cream and sports nutrition. The company operates six dedicated production facilities and supplies cheddar cheese of varying ages from functional young cheese for ready meals to mature and vintage profiles. Dale Farm's milk comes from farms over 90% grass-fed and is Red Tractor approved. The company holds BRC Grade A certification across all food manufacturing sites, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications at applicable locations, and processes certified organic milk at Pennybridge. It operates a dedicated logistics team for global shipments including bulk liquid delivery in pallecons and tanker formats, and maintains year-round supply due to a relatively flat milk profile.
